From coriolan_cmc at coriolan_cmc.yahoo.invalid Thu Aug 4 02:28:23 2011 From: coriolan_cmc at coriolan_cmc.yahoo.invalid (Caius) Date: Thu, 04 Aug 2011 02:28:23 -0000 Subject: Harry Potter Filks: Now We Are Ten Message-ID: Hard to believe, but it was 10 years ago yesterday that I launched Harry Potter Filks (HPF) with just over 100 filks by four authors. By the time Deathly Hallows was published, we were the largest filk site on the Web, with well over 3000 filks by some 250 authors. While the Potter series was in progress, dozens of new filks were added every month, after having first been posted to HPFGU - and although the quantity may have diminished, the creative quality remains undimmed, as a vist to our New Filks page will confirm: http://www.harrypotterfilks.com/newfilks.htm Being the webmaster for HPF has been a wonderful experience, and I just want to convey my appreciation to everyone who has visited the site, and an especial thanks to all of the talented contributors who have set the Potterverse to music. - CMC HARRY POTTER FILKS http://www.harrypotterfilks.com/ From heidi at heiditandy.yahoo.invalid Mon Aug 29 13:58:20 2011 From: heidi at heiditandy.yahoo.invalid (Heidi Tandy) Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2011 09:58:20 -0400 Subject: Hotel Reservations for Ascendio (July 12-15, Universal Orlando) Message-ID: The lovely people at Loews have set things up so y'all can make hotel reservations for Ascendio via the website at http://www.loewshotels.com/en/Portofino-Bay-Hotel/GroupPages/HPEF ! (Note: It may not work on all mobile devices, but you can always enter the GQC7A1 code to get the rate via the mobile site, fwiw.) The hotel rooms are $210+tax per night for quad occupancy in standard rooms, and $265+tax per night for quad occupancy in deluxe rooms, which are a little larger and may have better views - also, the rates are available from the night of July 9 to the night of July 17, so you can come early, or stay late. If you want a suite, though, you still need to call the hotel - they can't automate those reservations so they work online, because they're 30% off but the prices change in some complex mathematical fashion. To get info about suites, or make a regular reservation by phone, call the hotel at 866-360-7395, or you can fax 407-503-9258. You must provide them with our code ? HPEF-ASCENDIO. Also, don't forget that registration for Ascendio is now open at our website - http://hp2012.org/?page_id=131" - we're coming close on 200 standard registrations so if you want the early bird rate, don't wait! See you next July! - Heidi PR, Team Ascendio
